but there is a much better chance that a Dem will vote progressively than a Repub!!!

That's the thing about getting old. I've heard this argument that Dems are no better than Repubs for years. That is just not true.

On economic issues they follow their corporate masters.

rather than hold them accountable to what Democrats say they are.

Are you ok with Democrats working against communites trying to get local power to prevent fracking of their lands and aquifers?

If so, knock yourself out. If not, you might think about lining up to oppose such deeds.

We know Republicans suck and support fracking. When Democrats side with them on such issues, we have no way to stop it. Time to hold our reps accountable.

I've HAD and seen ENOUGH. The conversion is DONE.

Today's Democrats ARE (what used to be) Republicans. Today's Republicans are FACIST psychopaths (is that redundant?)

And I don't care for anyone that tries to apologize for this by giving me the "lesser of two evils" bit.

In tax breaks.

9 Billion dollars.

There are other ways to fight corporate extortion than just handing them 9 billion of my tax dollars I will have to pay to make it up to the Boeing stockholders.

They couldn't ram the tax break bill through fast enough.

They aren't Democrats.

They are prostitutes.

no longer afford to give these traitors the benefit of neither doubt nor "political courtesy". we and the planet are out of time. fracking with highly toxic chemicals and waste injected into the ground and water tables is poisonous.

poisoning americans and the land we live upon is not something we can compromise according to levels of toxicity.

you may be getting old and not care but we have generations of family for whom quality of life not a commodity.

This action and their action on our Single Payer ballot issue assures that no matter who runs against them they will never get my vote. Never. We are paying close attention to these democrats and their actions.

If Democrats don't stand up against Democrats selling out populist interests, who will?

Good grief! We find out every day something else they have done or are doing. I say "they" because I am no longer with them.

Except I will continue to support Bernie and Canova.

If they had the backing of the voters, they'd hold firm against fracking and big oil. But no, the voters will not stand up with them against big oil, so guess what?

The party is going to shit thanks to the turd way

I agree. The party has gone to Republican thanks to Turd Way.

It's not their fault.

It's ours for letting it go on this long, and get this out of control.

...for letting this shite go this long! But now the opportunity for change is HERE. No use beating our breasts about the past. Seize the day! The Sanders campaign is awakening millions of people. It is happening suddenly--shockingly, to the Democratic powers-that-be and their corporate sponsors, and astonishing to all, even, I think, to Bernie Sanders himself. In fact, he has said something to that effect.

The political revolution that so many have hoped for is happening but so suddenly that I don't think anyone fully comprehends it. We're focused on the primary right now, but, long term, we need to pick some important, fundamental targets--for instance, the 'TRADE SECRET' voting machines and voter registration systems. It's all been privatized. We need to UN-privatize it, as a first priority. After that, campaign money--an organized, massive effort to fund Bernie-policy candidates, and to force our state and federal governments to enact public financing of campaigns.

Like that. Get strategic. Change the rules. Set the target priorities. There is nothing we can't do, as Bernie has so often said, if we pull together. He IS pulling us together. Let's make sure we stay together and act, whatever the outcome of our primary, or the Trump vs. Clinton farce, if that's what happens. We can make sure that neither one will get more than four years to fuck things up further. But we need to get organized and not yield to depression and disempowerment. Those two d's are how the corporate rulers have gotten away with so much, have invaded our party and 'turned' our leaders.

Wonder where all the defenders of the guilty are? Are they not running up and down this thread defending these prostitutes? Come out, come out, you lurking money grubbers. Try to defend yourselves out of this episode of stabbing the Democratic Party in the back.

Arghh!!!

That's what this is about. They want to become lobbyists for this or that industry, so they have to get in good with them before hand. It's all about the horse-trading and influence peddling. Few elected Democrats give a shit about anything other than getting ahead. It's all about getting rich later on. Inside they are Frank Underwood: venal, ambitions, amoral.

Look at Barney Frank. He used his elected position to lobby for banks, now he works for one.

I hate them all, with a few exceptions. Worthless, conniving, soulless.

No wonder so many people refuse to be members of either party.

that the Democratic Party no longer represents the people. You either stand up and fight back or we can kiss our Party goodbye. I plan on FIGHTING.

I just tweeted this to Donna Brazile. I hope others will tweet to other party "leaders" to let them know we are going to fight them on this.
